Wicked For Good Was Good Cinema

2 Comments

Wicked for Good is a solid sequel that continues the story from last year’s Wicked: Part One. To me there were surprises, intense personal drama, and character development.

Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo are two performers who were just superb. There were lots of points in the movie where their vocals made you feel everything.

Much of what I experienced was pain and sadness in all points of the movie. Glinda was struggling in how she was the poster child of Oz. And eventually the wicked side of Elphaba had to come out because it was her only choice. The story is filled with messages about how Oz was shady and not a good person.

Additionally, Jeff Goldblum and Michelle Yeoh together make an evil team. I thought (People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive, Jonathan Bailey, was terrific too. Furthermore, I think you will be very pleased in how they wrapped things up. Watch the first movie, then see the second, it’s worth it.

Rest In Power Robert Redford – All The President’s Men, A Masterpiece

2 Comments

Legendary actor, director and humanitarian Robert Redford passed away on September 16, 2025. Tonight we are watching “All The President’s Men” in honor of his life and legacy. This movie is about Bob Woodward played by Redford and Carl Bernstein that is played by Dustin Hoffman, who investigated the Watergate story in the 1970’s that would result in bring down Richard Nixon’s presidency. It’s a masterpiece that starts intense and finishes strong. It’s a terrific film with all sorts of intrigue and tells the story of hungry journalists getting to the bottom of a serious story.

I highly recommend everyone see this movie because there are parallels to today’s political scene.

If you know, you know. It just means more symbolically right now. This is from the holiday favorite “Independence Day” where aliens blow lots of stuff up, including much of Washington DC.

Throwback Thursday – Back To The Future at 40

Leave a comment

Back To The Future is one of my favorite movies. It was released on June 3, 1985, which makes it 40 years old. It is so hard to believe this classic film is 40, that is the funny thing about time travel. Thank you for the movie magic, memories and timeless adventure Steven, Robert, Alan, Michael, Christopher, Lea and Crispin. As Huey sings, it’s about the Power of Love.

Conclave, A Fictional Movie About Choosing A New Pope

1 Comment

This is a fictional movie about the choosing of a new Pope in the wake of a Pope’s passing. Right now, in reality, the College of Cardinals are about to begin this process for real since Pope Francis’ death on Easter Monday. There is a lot of Vatican politics and palace intrigue in this film, as one would expect. It’s also about faith, relationships, trust, and the Catholic Church’s traditions, and rituals that guide this film.

“Conclave” features an all-star cast of Ralph Fiennes, John Lithgow, Stanley Tucci and Isabella Rossellini.

The Hunger Games – The Ballad Of Songbirds and Snakes

1 Comment

Watching The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes because it’s a fictional dystopia vs. real life dystopia. This origin story of President Snow and the early days of the Hunger Games is a cautionary tale and shouldn’t be a plan for the future. It’s about fascism and injustice. This movie is a great prequel to the original Hunger Games movies.
